Here, researchers from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics propose to control thermal stress at coating interfaces during laser induction processes and demonstrate a novel process for precisely graphenizing ultra-thin diamond coating surface through laser induction and mechanical cleavage, without damaging the substrates.

Their work provides an effective and cost-efficient avenue to overcome application bottlenecks in engineered diamond surfaces, expanding their use in friction pairs such as cutting tools, bearings, and mechanical seals. Moreover, it may facilitate advancements in multicarbon heterostructures and their preparation methods, supporting potential applications in electronics, aviation, and biomedicine involving diamond, graphene, and all-carbon devices.

A landmark five-year clinical study has revealed that spectacle lenses equipped with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) can significantly slow the progression of myopia and axial elongation in children. 

Professors Zhaoyang Zeng and Can Guo from the Xiangya School of Basic Medical Sciences, Central South University, in collaboration with Researcher Wenjia Guo from Xinjiang Medical University, have discovered a novel circular RNA, circTP63-N, encoded by the TP63 gene, which suppresses the malignant progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This significant finding has been recently published in Science China Life Sciences.

New research by Henan University has achieved significant progress in eco-friendly display technology, constructing bright and efficient green ZnSeTe-based quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs). This achievement was enabled by developing an effective quantum dot defect passivation strategy, which involves inserting an ultrathin ZnSeS interlayer. This research is poised to propel the advancement of the next-generation low-toxic and environmentally friendly display technology.

In a paper published in National Science Review, a research team from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, reveal differences in the near and far side lunar space environment from Chang’e-6 sample-based evidence. The Chang’e‑6 samples, from the Moon’s far side, lack the vapor deposited layers commonly generated by micrometeorite impacts, which are typically observed in samples from the Moon’s nearside and asteroids. The differences could mainly be driven by the specific space environment of the near and far side of the Moon.
